Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
Gentlemen,
What is your take on this?
I generally try and have a complete check up regularly (every couple of years). It takes 5 minutes, you get a small needle in the arm (blood test) and pee in a cup (urine test).
Tests for most nasties.
The sexual health clinic thoroughly recommends it and actually says there is a Chlamydia outbreak where i live right now.
The doctor recommended condom use for the first 12 months of any 'relationship'.
Thoughts?
I guess my concern is that:
1) You will never really know if your partner cheated on you
2) There are many ways to get these diseases
3) Sexual partners are exponential. I.e even if the a virgin sleeps with another person (1) who has only been with one other person (2), then 2 may have been with millions of others.
Thoughts? How do you all approach this?
